L. LUM SMITH, the king of Ameri-

This includes County Clerks, Circuit

There is just a little danger of the
Legislature OVERRIDING this matter of
"retrenchment and reform"
Economy is well enough sometimes,
but as we have had occasion to re-
mark before, too much economy quite
frequently becomes the most aagi-
tious extravaganza. If the State and
counties want efficient men in Office
they must pay them what their SER
vices are worth and will command in
other avocations of life. One secret of
the success of the big railroad and
other corporations of the country is
that they secure for their executive
officers the brainiest men of the
country, and pay full value for their
services. The members of the Legis-
lature are seemingly disposed to value
the services of all state officials by the
standard of the little pittance they
themselves receive. Most any kind of
a scrub can occupy seat in the Legis-
lature, and draw his little salary, but
when it comes to executing the laws
and conducting the public business,
some brains are necessary, and if
secured must be adequately compen-
stated. 1t will be a dark day for
Tennessee when the salary of official
positions is reduced below what COM
petent men can be secured for.

A BILL is before the Legislature
which provides for the people of any
county voting upon the abatement of
Water Mills in their respective coun-
ties. The bill is being pushed by
West Tennessee members. In that
portion of the State great deal of
valuable land is rendered worthless
by the dams necessary to run water
mills, and it is also urged that great
deal of sickness is caused by them.

The American man must be little
off in putting the weight of the large
chandelier in the Representative hall
at Nashville at 1900 tons. A large
sized railroad locomotive weighs
about 80 tons. The chandelier in the
Representative hall would hardly
represent the weight of so railroad
locomotives. Itmight possibly weigh
a couple of tons.

THE working men of the country,
individually and through their vari-
GUS labor organizations have, at differ
ent times, boycotted almost every
kind of institution except their worst
enemy-the saloon. They stand by
this viper as if it were their dearest
friend, instead of direst foe. If the
working men of America, from one
extremity of the continent to the
other, would join in one vast organi-
zation to boycott the saloons, riots,
strikes and labor troubles would come
to an end, and peace and prosperity
would brighten their homes.

A MEASURE known as the Depend
ent Pension Bill, which would have
taken good many million dollars out
of the treasury every year, has been
vetoed by the President. The bill
proposed to give pension of SD per
month to every man who served as
long as three months in the U. S.
Army or Navy, and who is now to
any :extent incapacitated to earn a
livelihood. 1t was a cunningly de-
vised scheme to plumber the treasury,

approval of the Ubiquitous measure.

THE President has vetoed a bill APP
propriating $4,000 for distribution of
seeds from the Agricultural Depart
ment through the drouth-stricken
counties of Texas. There is already
an annual expenditure of $1O0,0 for
seeds to be distributed by our Con-
gressmen, and the President suggests
that a sufficient number of Congress-
men donate their shares to the Texas
people to enable them to plant their
crops. We don't believe the country
would suffer much if the entire bust
ness of seed distribution by the gov
eminent was discontinued altogether.
We would vastly prefer to have Con-
gresham Neal send us our share in
cigars and tobacco, box of good
stationery, set of furniture, or some
thing more valuable than lot of old
last years garden seeds. Why not
furnish all business men, as well as
farmers, with something they can use
in their line?
WE notice from the Senate pro-
ceedings that Senator Lynn has intro
duced bill "to amend the usury
laws and establish a conventional
rate of interest" A measure of this
kind was, unfortunately for the inter-
ests of the State we think, defeated by
the last legislature. Money is as much
commodity asany articleef mrchan-
disc, and its value just as liable to
fuctuation. 1t is all just and proper
that the State should have a legal
rate of interest, but when, in the mu-
tation of trade and commerce, money
reaches value above this rate, and
business will justify its use at higher
rates, we cannot understand why its
value should be restricted by law.
The effect of our present law is not
only to drive home capital from the
State, to other places where it will
command its full value, but it also
keeps foreign capital out which would
come here for investment, if under
the law it could receive its market
value.

Hats or no Hats.

A reporter of the Examiner has been
interviewing some of our Rabbis in
connection with that fiery telegram
from Cleveland, O., which stated that
the Jews of that city were wildly ex.
cited about wearing or not wearing
hats in the synagogue. Rabbi Vidaver
gave the orthodox version, saying,
among other things, that the wearing
of the hat during worship is custom
of great antiquity among our people
and has become part and parcel OF
our religion. Rabbi Elkan Cohn ex-
pressed his sensible views to the re-
porter as follows:
at is," said he, call nonsense. The
wearing of the hat during worship is
no part OF our religion, but simply a
custom resulting from the practices
of the East, from whence we
derive our origin. There the
turban, fez or other head cov-
ering is always worn, and it is a mark
OF disrespect to uncover in the pres
ence of one in authority. Hence the
use of the hat in the synagogue. 1t is
simply an ancient custom, and one
which, like many others, has a ten
dency to mislead, and had best be
done away with as soon as possible,
as many people are always to be
found who are ready to mistake old
customs for religious observances, and
the fact that the hat has been worn in
the synagogue in the past is no more
reason for the continuance of the prac-
tice in this age and country than for
the observance of ether customs per-
culiar to the Orient, but which would
be ridiculous here. .'-[Jewish Times.

"Another very handsome invitation
was one recently engraved granting
the privilege of an uptown club to the
visiting friends of the members. These
privileges are extended for two weeks.
During the season tea cards were very
fashionable. They were about the
size of an ordinary visiting card and
bore the name of the lady at home,
her address in the lower right-hand
corner, and opposite, in the left-hand
corner, the date and the words, Tea
at 4 O'Clock.
Train cards are now included in
all invitations to out-of-town enter
tainments, giving the date, time of
leaving, both going and returning, the
road by which the train goes, and
where arrangements have been made
for paying the guests fares. The
words Present this at the train are
engraved thereon. An invitation to a
masquerade ball, given by young
woman living in Fifth avenue last
season, bore handsome engraving of
a mask, with crossed wands sur
, mounted by stars. With the invita-
tion was the necessary card of admis-
sion to the house, which bore the
same engraving in miniature.
Wedding invitations remain about
the same, rarely changing except in
some slight matters OF phraseology,
and include the card to the church or
reception as the case may be. Now
and then is seen the old style of fas-
tening the card bearing the brides
maiden name to a larger one, on
which is engraved the names of the
newly married couple, but the white
ribbon bow is casually omitted. The
Spanish are little more elaborate and
extravagant in their ideas ii one is
to judge from wedding announcement
engraved by this house. The card
was heavily beveled, and edged with
gilt. The announcement was simple,
but at the head were the initials of
the bridal couple intertwined in gilt
letters. The invitations for both the
Patriarch and Bachelor balls last sea-
son came from this house. The invi-
tation to the Bachelor was on large
card, and bore the name of the pat
ronesses. The Vanderbilts invariably
have engraved on the bottom of their
invitations, Costume de rigueur. -
